Broadway by Philip Dunning and George Abbott: A Theatrical Triumph of the 1920s This image transports us back to the vibrant and exhilarating world of Broadway in the 1920s. The photograph, featuring six duplicated women in pirate hats and hoop earrings, is a testament to the enduring popularity of the play "Broadway" by Philip Dunning and George Abbott. First produced by Jed Harris at the Strand Theatre in England on December 22, 1926, "Broadway" went on to become one of the most successful plays of the decade. The production, which showcased the drama, wit, and energy of the Broadway stage, captivated audiences and critics alike. The women in this photograph, dressed in pirate attire, add an element of whimsy and intrigue to the scene. Their poses suggest a sense of camaraderie and excitement, as if they are ready to embark on an adventure. The pirate hats and hoop earrings, while seemingly out of place in the context of a Broadway play, add a touch of the unexpected and delightful. The image is a reminder of the innovative and unconventional nature of the 1920s, a time when the boundaries of popular entertainment were being pushed and redefined. The theatrical world of Broadway was a place of drama, excitement, and transformation, and "Broadway" by Philip Dunning and George Abbott was at the heart of it all. This photograph, taken for the Adelphi Theatre in 1926, captures a moment in time when the magic of the Broadway stage came alive, leaving a lasting impact on audiences and inspiring generations to come.
